there are 17 sustainable development goals that 193 countries agreed on. the issues range from climate change to clean water to poverty reduction to women’s education. and while these goals have been set in place, how many people actually know of them. how is it reaching the masses? the individual countries? the men and women of each and every city? it’s on us to hold our government responsible, from local mayors to the president’s administration.

let’s make work for the united nations. we are the school that is spearheading work for climate change. we have the ability to take these 17 goals and drive them into localized communities. we have the creative ability to turn awareness into action. we can write, design, post, politicize, deconstruct, adapt, code, paint, brew, and ultimately, reimagine how the world at large works.

notes from the united nations:

-do something odd

-make scientists storytellers

-how do we motivate 193 countries in unison?

-broad shareability v. narrow action

-first global warming, then climate change, what is next?
